Chapter 280: Surprisingly Noticed by Craydon University

“You must be Myrna. I’ve seen your videos online, and I never expected you to be even more…,” Mr. Bullock from the Craydon University Admissions Office smiled, beginning to speak but faltering mid-sentence, unable to find the right adjective.

How to describe the girl before him? He’d found her exceptionally calm during surgery in the video. Meeting her in person, he realized she was not only calm during the surgery but also showed no extra reaction to learning they were from Craydon University. Shouldn’t normal students be excited to hear the words “Craydon University”?

He paused, concluding Myrna was the type of person who was arrogant due to her talent. It wasn't surprising for talented people to possess a touch of arrogance. With this thought, his furrowed brow relaxed, and he extended his hand. “You are even more beautiful than in the video. Hello, I am Curtis Bullock.”

Myrna saw his warm, amicable smile. She didn't extend her hand, instead pursing her lips and succinctly saying, “Myrna.” She hadn’t refused to shake hands; she couldn't help it—she has a cleanliness obsession. She’d had an allergic reaction after shaking hands before. But to observers like Emilee, her behavior appeared arrogant.

Emilee frowned deeply, her face falling. Myrna was too arrogant!

Curtis didn’t mind Myrna not shaking his hand. He withdrew his hand, touched his nose bridge, smiled, and said, “Myrna, we’re here to ask if you’re interested in studying medicine.”

Studying medicine? Myrna pursed her lips, her dark eyes narrowing; her thoughts were unclear. “Well… it’s alright.” She’d wondered about her future major before, but after the incident with Alfredo, studying medicine seemed acceptable.

Curtis, seeing her lack of refusal, continued, “We saw your videos online and unanimously believe you have great talent in medicine. It would be a waste if you didn’t pursue it. Myrna, how about coming to Craydon University’s Department of Clinical Medicine for further studies?”

In the principal’s office, only his voice remained. Stephanie, who was originally going out with Luther, involuntarily clenched her hands so tightly her palms were almost cut. She remembered recent school rumors: a Craydon University professor had seen Myrna’s online video of saving someone and personally came to Melcester Central High School to recruit her. Initially, she’d dismissed it as a Class A group lie to boast about Myrna.

What kind of school is Craydon University? Students always begged and cried for admission. When did Craydon University start personally recruiting people? So, this wasn’t a rumor; it was true?!

Stephanie felt choked, struggling to breathe. Myrna, noticed by Craydon University! She recalled securing a scholarship at Hebbury College of Art through the back door, only to lose it and transfer to the inferior Hughes High School. Meanwhile, Myrna was soaring, noticed by Craydon University and poised for success! Why are people so unfair?

Luther also felt unwell. Yesterday at Watershed Restaurant, he'd felt immense regret, amplified by Olivia's later words. Now, seeing his abandoned foster daughter noticed by Craydon University, with the possibility of future Nemmington development and a broader horizon, his heart felt as if an invisible giant hand was pulling it out of his body.
